stuffed calamari
Ingredients - Serves 3 Method
6 calamari
50ml Grappolini Paneolio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
50g fresh breadcrumbs
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp chopped parsley
80g peeled prawns
60g chopped cooked ham
1egg
salt and freshly ground pepper
a ladle of fresh vegetable or fish broth
Clean the calamari well. On a low heat, use some of the oil to cook the garlic, chopped tentacles and parsley and set aside. Add the breadcrumbs, ham, prawns, egg, salt and pepper. Half fill the calamari tubes with the stuffing and fasten with a toothpick. Fry gently in the rest of the extra virgin olive oil and turn occasionally to brown all over. Finish up with a ladle of broth and simmer for about 20 minutes and serve.
Do not overfill the calamari, otherwise they will shrink during cooking.
